So are they going to round up everyone that looks Mexican and then sort out who is legal or illegal?

That going to go over well.

"Draft memo"?

Who wrote it?

Please cite anywhere in this article which says that a discussion, much less an executed document, over whether or not to start wholesale removing aliens from the U.S. took place in management positions of Homeland Security.

......One more AP headline which forwards an impression which gets totally discredited in the article.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I was just stating that the implementation of such a policy would have pitfalls.

However, Trump's administration denials are quite meaningless. There is no credibility within this administration whatsoever. Trump actually has not had any true credibility (outside the fawning reality TV zombies who also love Honey Boo-Boo and Uncle Sy, that is) in decades, if ever.

Do other countries let you stay as long as you want without obtaining citizenship?

If you have the right kind of visa but it varies from country to country. I have a permanent resident visa for Mexico. Other countries are different. Mexico's immigration laws aren't much different than the USA's in terms of entry requirements.

No matter what, the illegals are not entitled to be here and we are entitled to remove them if we so choose. Removing them is not an expression of ethnic cleansing nor is it a violation of their rights. Regardless of which agency is taking them into custody.

True only to the extent that lawful US residents are not harmed in any sweeps. Looking at US law enforcement's track records on racially-charged profiling I don't hold out the highest hopes that they won't be.

The enforcement of all laws result in some collateral damage to innocents. Using the existing criteria, how many innocents have been wrongfully sent out? I'm sure that number isn't anywhere near zero but I'm not as sure that its large enough to warrant the cessation of all such activity.

Are we anticipating the increase in sweeping activity to increase the rate of collateral damage to innocents? If so, are those damages enough to warrant refraining from those sweeps? In lieu of information to the contrary about the best we can guess is a projection based on the same existing rate multiplied by the increase in sweeping activity. Of course, I'm sure that some people will disagree with that as well.

Most of that section of the memo was oriented toward empowering state and local law enforcement agencies to participate in such detentions.

If we ever do end up exporting large numbers of illegals we'll eventually have to consider revising our immigration and visa quotas. Upward.
